BARREL-EMPTYING APPARATUS.

weaves.

To all whom it may concern:

u Be it known that I, PHILIP W. MILLER, a citlzen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Barrel-Em tyingApparatus, of which the following isla full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains'to make and use the same.

rllhe invention relates to barrel emptying aparatus and seeks to provide a simple and e cient apparatus that can easily and quickly be connected to a barrel, tank and the like so that compressed air can be connected thereto and the barrel or tank emptied. i

lt is not newV to empty barrels and tanks by compressed air pressure, but by reducing the number ofparts of the apparatus and factory apparatus is attained and at a lower cost, so that compressed air will be more generally-,employed for emptying barrels and tanks. y

The presentinvention seeks to provide an improved apparatus with few and simply constructed parts for emptying barrels, tanks and the like of liquid by the admission ot' compressed air.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the improved construction, combinations and arrangements of parts' hereinafter set :torth andl more particularly pointed out in the appended i claim, the accompanying drawings illustrating the improved apparatus.

n the drawings Figure 1 is a plan View ot the improved apparatus attached to a barrel.

Fig. 2 4is a sectional view on line 22 of.

Fig. ll.

Fig. 3 is a view in elevation of certain parts ot the apparatus, broken open to illustrate a certain screw. The barrel shown comprises the usual staves 1, upper head 2, and lower head 3, which are of common and well known construction.y

The sleeve 4 is provided with the external thread 5 to connect with the barrel, the in-V ternal thread 6 to receive thepacking nut 't' which is integral with the handles 8, the

-stop screw 9,projecting above the face 10 ,of the sleeve when removing the apparatus ltwill be understood that` from t'he barrel. the sleeve 4 can be turned tightly intothe barrel by the handlesS of the packing nut 7.

Fitting within the sleeve 4 and packing nut 7 and packed tight against leakage by the packing 14, is the pipe 16 extending above the packing nut and provided with the connectinghose 17, and projecting downwardly into the barrel `to the lower head 3, thenotches 18 being provided so 'that the liquid in the barrel can enter the pige when it is restingagainst the head 3.

he pipe 16 is inserted in the barrelas shown and the sleeve 4 turned tightly into the threadst, an air hose connected tothe nipple 11 and air admitted to the barrel through the hole 12, as air is lighter than liquid it vwill remain above the latter and force `it out of the barrel through the pipe 16 and hose 17.4

What l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is :f l

In bai-rel emptying apparatus, a sleeve, an external thread on one end of said sleeve, an internal thread in the opposite end of said sleeve, a packing nut in said internal thread, handles integral with said packing nut, a nipple for air connections in one slde off said sleeve, a hole connecting from said nipple to the Inner end of sald sleeve,

a lip extending radially from said packing nut, a screw .in said sleeve to engage said lip and prevent said packing nut from turuing out of said sleeve while removlng said sleeve from the barrel, and a pipe in said Lsleeve and said packing nut.
